Homebuilt Ultralight

The homebuilt ultralight airplane and/or helicopter has it's advantages.

Some ultralight plans out there for kits are very basic/simple. Perhaps you are one of those very clever people who don't need a lot of information in your plans.

However for those of us that need complete ultralight aircraft plans, they are also available. Should you get stuck you continue to have access to the supplier to assist you with anything you are not 100 per cent sure about.

When it comes to ultralight engines you can choose between a Rotax, two or four stroke engine or perhaps purchase a small car engine like a Suzuki G10 or G13. Make sure you do your research though as it is your life up there after all.

When complete you are going to be the proud owner of your very own ultralight airplane.

Finally this company is an award winner and has been around for over 30 years.

My preference therefore is ...
